Little doodle on the theme of the older man and the very young woman, the directorial debut of screenwriter Audrey Wells. The knowledge that she wrote the script for The Truth about Cats and Dogs will not help this film's star, Sarah Polley, to escape physical comparison (pointy little teeth notwithstanding) with the other film's Uma Thurman. Polley, on her own, seems a serious and hard-working actress, illuminating shyness and insecurity in busy, mercurial, lavish, almost exorbitant detail. Jean Smart has a nice bit when she gets to stop being the Horrid Mother for a minute and gets to put the aging Lothario firmly in his place. Stephen Rea, Gina Gershon, Sandra Oh.
